Master of Applied Science Software Engineering (Master's programs) at University of Ontario Institute of Technology

In addition to the general admission requirements for graduate studies, applicants must meet the following program-specific requirements:

• Hold a four-year honours undergraduate engineering degree in software engineering, computer science, or another engineering degree in a relevant field from an accredited engineering program at a Canadian university, or its equivalent from a recognized institution.
• Minimum overall academic standing of a B (GPA: 3.0 on a 4.3 scale), with a minimum B in the last two full-time years (four semesters) of undergraduate work or equivalent. B+ is preferred for MASc applicants.

Prior to being accepted into the MASc program, applicants must find a professor who specializes in their desired area of research and who is willing to act as a supervisor. Close technical contact with a faculty member is an essential part of thesis-based graduate education in software engineering.
